Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000342-GPOS-00133, SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224

Check Content

Verify offloading of security syslog events with 

cli% showsys -d

Find the output section "Remote Syslog Status".

If "Active" is not "1", this is a finding.

If "Security Server" is not defined, this is a finding.

If "Security Connection" is not "TLS", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the remote syslog host:

cli% setsys RemoteSyslogSecurityHost <hostname> <address-spec> [:port]

The hostname, and address are both required. If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supplied, the IPv6 address must be enclosed in []. The default port is 6514 utilizing TLS.

Import the ca certificate that will have signed the syslog server:

cli% importcert syslog-sec-server -ca stdin

Copy and paste the PEM format of the appropriate CA as instructed.

Configure the system to utilize remote syslog:

cli% setsys RemoteSyslog 1
